The first animated short from our new web series, Bravest Warriors has most of its characters designed, basic backgrounds laid out and storyboards have begun. The episode is called, "Butter Lettuce" and should end up under five minutes long.

When it goes into full production it'll actually be animated in Korea by real animators who are not crashing on my couch or being paid in burritos and Sprite. I'm not used to this level of decadence.

Jason Johnson (Dr. Tran) and I are writing several shorts at once to hopefully be prepared when the pace picks up. Check the Frederator Blog for more production art.BRAVEST WARRIORS!Tuesday

This deal here is what I've been busy working on lately. It's a new web series I'm producing, created by Pen Ward. Design for the first short starts next week, followed by storyboards. Frederator has a production blog here.

We're totes back in sexy San Diego for a SWEET DVD Signing, but we have no new cartoons, and yet still no new DVD. This is Jason and me, working very slowly on things we haven't finished and you don't get to see:

But there it is, proof that we still exist. We're doing a signing on Saturday but I'm also gonna try to make it to the Adventure Time panel that day, which could disrupt the signing a little. You should go, too. SAT @ 3pm, Room 6A.

The last short we made was Tran Mail #7 in January 2010, and the reason we haven't made anything since is that our funding dried up.

Latest idea floating around is a fund raiser for the next Dr. Tran cartoon. Mondo Media, the Happy Tree Friends guys, are helping put something together for us in 2011 that will involve rewards for anyone who donates, including newTran Toys and even Producer Credit and a Cameo in the film.

Jason and I are writing and trying to decide which film to make next out of around 10 unfinished Tran shorts, most only half-written, with a few designs and backgrounds done.

Q is for Dr. Tran, WonderMouth, a handful of new Chicken films, a zombie apocalypse short, new Cinnamon Bun stuff & a film about portals. Hard to choose which film to pick back up, but we're leaning toward "Q." Tran's friends drag him to the movies to see the premiere of one of his own films.

This is a still from "Q," back when Q and Fruit Hat were combined as a larger film (a short-lived idea from way back when we were working on a Tran pilot for cable channel G4TV).Secret thingsSunday

These latest entries to the Illustration Gallery are 2 of about 25 other secret things I can't show you.

Jhonen V. tweeted these a few months ago, so I figure it's safe to post them. They're characters he designed and I painted for a project that still may, someday... happen.
